Anitun Tabu • Philippine Mythology: Luzon Divinities

Known to be fickle-minded and arrogant, Anitun Tabu is the goddess of wind and rain. Ancient Tagalogs often blame her for the occurrence of ambon and before the colonial period, it was even said that it was lucky to get married while raining, because Anitun Tabu is happy. (It was only during the Spanish period that people started to blame rainy sunny days on the marriage of supernatural beings like tikbalang.)

In Zambales, she is known as Anitun Tauo, who used to be superior to many other deities. However due to her haughtiness, their chief god Malayari demoted her to being a lesser deity. Regardless, people in Zambales still offer her pinipig or mamiarag during the harvest season.
